In today’s episode of the To Birth and Beyond Podcast, Anita and Jessie talk about what it really means to “prepare for birth”. We see this talked about so often, especially on social media - but what does that actually mean? How DO we prepare for birth, this huge event that is greatly so wildly out of our control, but that we can plan and prepare around. We are going to talk the physical preparation, as well as mental, emotional, and logistical preparations!- - - - - - - - -If you liked this episode of To Birth and Beyond, tell your friends!
